Thank you.

Well, it's always been our aim to raise women's consciousness to the effect

their clothes have, not just on those with whom they live and work, but on

themselves. Your latest designs have an everyday quality, which appeals to a

wider range of women than merely those who can afford haute couture, Miss

Elliot. Is this a deliberate policy and one we may expect you to continue?

It is, and yes, you may, in conjunction, of course, with our exclusive range on

which we continue to concentrate.

Do you plan to promote your more accessible ranges through any of the

London emporiums?

Not yet.

The success of Elmer Jefford Henry's film has attracted a lot of interest in

your work. Did you enjoy designing?

Yes, we did.

Excuse me.

Miriam Sargessman, there's Robo. Good afternoon.

Would you give my card to Miss Elliot?

Certainly. Miriam Sargesson.

Thank you.

Thank you, ladies. You may go and change now.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Do you have everything you need?

So designing for the theatre was an experience you would like to repeat?

enjoyed our association with Dame Caroline Charles very much.

Has the House of Elliot any plans to open a branch in, say, Paris or Roma?

No, no.

Our interests are firmly based in London for the moment.

Well done, girls. Thank you.

I'm sure you'd like to know that Miss Elliot's are proposing to extend your

contract by a further three months, if you're willing to remain with us.

Thank you, Mrs. Burgoyle. That would suit me very well.

What about you, Lydia? Do you wish to stay?

Oh, very much, thank you. Good.

Bring me that dress and you take it off, would you? Yes, of course.

That's good news, Ben. I'm really pleased.

We make a good team.

You've taught me a lot, Kitty.

I really appreciate your help, you know.

Will you let me take you out to celebrate our new contract?

Oh, I can't. Sorry, I'm meeting Gerald and I'm late.

Thanks anyway.

Another time, perhaps?

Yes. Bye. Bye.

Could Miss Evangeline tell us about the state of her friendship with Lord

Modford? The subject of this interview is the House of Elliotts and the showing

of our latest collection.

Does Miss Evangeline expect to see Lord Modford in the foreseeable future?

Evie?

Your last questions, please, ladies and gentlemen.

No, no, that's fine.

Sorry, I'm just going... It's all right, Lydia.

I'm just tired.

Here.

Come on, have a good cry. They say it's good for you.

But it does make a mess of one's make -up, doesn't it?

Kitty and I are really pleased about our new contract.

You've decided to stay.

That's good, I'm glad.

I want to go out and celebrate.

It's even a pity, doesn't it, not to mark the occasion with something?

I don't suppose you'd like to come home and have supper with me and my husband?

Lydia, that's very kind of you, but I... It'll only be potluck with the food.

Of course, I'd love to.

It was my pleasure.

I think it went very well. You too?

If I am.

Here's to your new contract.

Three more months of the health of Elliot.

And may they be very happy ones, Lily. I'm sure they will be.

Welcome to our home. Yes, welcome.

This is a charming room.

Thank you.

I was on embarkation leave.

Married on Monday and at Ypres by Friday.

Are these your friends?

They went through most of the war together.

Peter was decorated for saving the life of one of them.

It was nothing, really.

Which one did you save?

He isn't in that picture. He took it.

Actually, he planned to become a professional photographer.

I wonder if Jack ever did.

Jack? What was his surname?

Maddox? Yeah, Jack Maddox. That was it.

I don't believe this. Jack Maddox is my brother -in -law.

The same chap?

Yes.

So you were lost contact.

We got split up. And then, well, a lot of it was best forgotten, you know.

Now, this fellow George, he was studying archaeology before the war. I believe

he was taken prisoner.

I don't know what became of the other chap.

Jack Maddox, eh?

Astonishing coincidence.

Jack actually did become a photographer. In fact, now he's a director of moving

pictures.

You really should meet him, Peter.

I don't know.

A lot of water's gone under the old bridge since those days.

Nevertheless, I think there's cause for another bottle.

Jack Beatrice, the pub and bed.

I don't recall seeing him around.

No.

No, Jack's been busy lately.

Liddy, we should arrange a surprise reunion for them all.

Yeah? But how will we trace the others?

The war office?

I don't know. We could try.

Jack Maddox speaking.

Alexander. Are you in London?

I see.

Look, it's very late this evening. Can't it wait until... Right.

I'll see you in half an hour's time.

Goodbye.

I'm sorry for walking out like that.

No, you had every right to be angry.

I know, but I shouldn't have let it upset me like it did.

Did you have a nice evening?

Yes.

Oh, you'll never guess what.

Liddy's husband, Peter, was in the war with Jack.

Really?

We were thinking of arranging a surprise reunion. There were four of them.

Jack, Peter, George Morton, and another man.

Hugh Bailey.

Oh, Evie.

What? Hugh died of his wounds long after the war.

I remember Jack used to go and visit him in some awful nursing home.

It made him so angry, the way people like Hugh were just forgotten about.

Well, a reunion isn't such a good idea, though. No, it's a lovely idea, but...

Well, perhaps just confine it to Jack and Liddy's husband.

I know. We could invite Jack out on some pretext and then surprise him with

Peter.

Well, it's your birthday next week.

Yes, well, that would do.

Another meeting here between you and Edie. I must talk to her, Jack.

And I'm certain her sister will try to prevent it. Can't you for once think of

her? He's trying to accept the fact that she's lost you. That you did the one

decent thing and withdrew on her account from an impossible situation.

What are you proposing, Alexander?

To set her up as your mistress?

Visit her whenever your official duties, your personal obligations allow? Do you

think that would make her happy?

She loves me, Jack. And that gives you the right to wreck her life?

I've wrecked my own.

Status, self -respect, marriage.

All gone.

There's only left between Elizabeth and myself.

Except reproach on her part and resentment on mine.

As for my career, my obsession with Evie so impaired my judgment.

They demanded your resignation, didn't they? That's what happened.

But you let Evie believe... I lost everything on her account. Everything.

Except perhaps her affection.

Help me to see her, Jack. Please.

You got me.

Jack, what is it?

What did you want to see me about?

I need your advice.

Alexander's back in the country.

Oh, no.

He wants to see you easy.

He's asked me to arrange a meeting. I naturally refuse, but I wonder how far

we go? It's her life.

Jack, he is unprincipled and selfish.

I have no scruples whatsoever in keeping them apart.

You know the truth about why he resigned? Yes, I do. But Evie doesn't.

I want to save her from that pain.

I'm convinced we're doing the right thing, Jack, by keeping them apart.

You don't think you're prolonging a role which you no longer have? After all,

she is... What, my sister, not my child? Is that what you're going to say?

Well, I still feel responsible for her.

We've been so busy putting this collection together, but now that's been

We have even more time to booze. Yes.

Jack, would you join us for supper one day next week? If we can celebrate your

birthday. And the success of your film in Germany.

It's a pleasure.

Good. I'll tell Evie.

Evie? Hmm?

One of the reporters at the show raised an interesting point about marketing a

range of our day wear through one of the major stores.

What do you think?

Well, it's certainly worth investigating.

Perhaps Alice could develop that area of our business. Her organising ability is

underused.

Rather than the other?

As well as the other, I think.

Certainly, Miss Hill.

Miss Elliot.

Alice, whenever you're free, I'd like to have a word in my office.

We feel that our day wear range could be developed, possibly through one of the

larger London retailers.

Your experience makes you the perfect candidate for the management of such a

project. Surely you don't mean ready -made clothes?

There's nothing wrong with ready -to -wear clothes, Alice, providing they're

well -made.

We would ensure that any garment bearing our label meets our own stringent

standards.

Forgive me, Alice, you seem less than enthusiastic.

I suspect Alice disapproves of the whole idea, don't you, Alice?

I would prefer to say that I remain unconvinced that becoming less exclusive

will prove in the long run to be beneficial.

You have every right to your view, of course.

And my position here as premier vendeur keeps me fully occupied, especially with

the engagement of the mannequins, which is attracting so much new business.

Really, my hands are full.

Happy birthday.

Oh, thank you.

Can we?

This is our table, but

we have three.

No, we have five.

Happy.

Good to see you, Jack.

You're sharp.

Peter's Liddy's husband. Liddy is one of our mannequins.

And you're Mrs. Hanson. How do you do it? I know.

This is incredible.

It is.

You look just the same.

And you look very well.

I've heard from the Geographical Society that Helen George -Wilson is going to

Crete on an archaeological excavation, but I can't have a dress on the right

there. You could.

I have to tell you all, I owe my life to this man. He braved a bombardment that

got me to a field hospital.

Nothing, Jack, please.

Nonsense. You saved my life.

God, we were close before it was, weren't we?

We were.

But one gets separated.

You know that Hugh died from the wounds he received that night.

Sorry to hear it.

And what about George?

A great fellow, George.

Oh, he was.

Do you think he got through? He deserved to.

I hope so, but... I rather doubt it.

Poor George.

Well, that's a part.

Tonight is Beatrice's birthday, so drink to her and to the future.

To Beatrice and to the future.

How do you take your coffee, Miss Artisans?

Black, please.

No cream, no sugar.

Thank you. You're welcome.

It was the costumes you designed for Elmer Jeff Art Henry's film that first

brought your work to my attention, though they naturally would not be

for the Sears Roebuck catalogue.

Now, I wish to establish whether, in principle, you ladies would be

in marketing under license to Sears Roebuck a range of your design.

In America?

In America.

Obviously, we're very flattered by your interest, Miss Sargesson.

And subject to the details of any contract proving satisfactory to us, I

we can say that we're interested.

Very interested. I'm delighted to hear it.

Now, I must go.

Good day, Miss Elliot.

Good day. Thank you.

And Miss Elliot.

Good day. I will be in touch with you when I've made my decision.

Just ticking over these days, this larger workshop's virtually unused.

Take a look before we have that drink.

Before my father -in -law's death, both these workshops were fully employed.

We managed to get by comfortably enough on what we produced, but it's hardly

what I had in mind for myself when we used to plan our futures.

You were always going to be a photographer, and George, well, George

wait to get back to some damn dig or other.

Poor old Hugh had no future at all, as it turned out.

What about you?

What would you be doing if you had the choice?

Oh, I don't know.

You see, I just jog along these days.

And you?

Are you busy with another film?

I'm working on an idea.

Oddly enough, it's about the war.

Some things that I would like to put behind me, but which refuse to be laid

rest.

Can't get a studio to accept it at the moment. Not commercially attractive

enough for the backers.

Can't you finance it yourself?

Going to production on my own?

Well, not impossible, but it's a huge step.

One that I'm not sure I'm ready for yet.

What would you need?

A studio, for a start.

Somewhere with... Well, quite a bit of space.

I apologise for intruding like this.

What are you doing here?

I've come to see Evangeline.

Well, she's not in the building. She won't be back for hours.

Then I shall wait.

This is unpardonable.

I've come to see your sister.

If she doesn't wish to see me, I shall of course leave at once. I have already

told you, she will be some considerable time and she will not wish to see you.

On what authority did you speak for her?

You take too much upon yourself, Beatrice. How dare you say that?

You're angry because you know that what I say is true.

If I'm angry, it's because your self -indulgence is threatening Evangeline's

happiness.

If I'm overprotective, it's because you've forced me to be.

Go away, Alexander, before you do any more harm.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I have Lady Bembridge in the fitting room. She wanted a word, so I think

engaged. No.

I shall see her.

Thank you.

Is Miss Evangeline here today?

No, my lord.

She isn't expected back for some time.

See that she receives this, will you?

And tell Miss Beatrice that I could not, after all, wait.

Yes.

And this could be our production office.

We're going to be a thundering success, Jack.

We do.

I think it's best to begin in a small way, keep things informal.

Till we know how we get on as a team, I mean.

We're a good team, Jack. We proved that long ago.

We did, didn't we?

Well, the set will be modest enough.

Suggestion of trenches, the skyline of shattered trees.

Your carpenters can make those for me. Of course they can.

Just tell me what you want and leave the rest to me.

Come here, let me help you with that. Thank you.

You look happy.

I am, because of Peter.

I never thought he'd be like this again.

Well, you never know it, would you? But, well, he was injured too, you see.

Not physically, but in himself.

And when he came back from the trenches, he was different.

Working with Jack is going to do him so much good.

Good?

I've heard from George Morton. Oh, what did he say? Well, he said he'd look Jack

and Peter up next time he's in London. Oh, dear.

We're ready for you now, lady. Thank you.

I don't want it there. Neither do I want it there. I want it where I asked for,

there.

Now, get them to pull it up.

My God, Jack, this brings things back.

I'm trying to forget about it.

And you?

I want to face it, Peter. That's what this film's about.

Right, that's good.

So on behalf of Sears Roebuck, it is my pleasure to tell you that we have

decided to offer you the contract.

Doubtless you'll wish to discuss it in detail with your lawyer, but we seem to

be agreed in principle, do we not?

Yes, we do.

You'll be aware, I'm sure, that my company operates primarily through our

order catalogue. Here's the current edition.

Thank you. We do, however, both one of the finest stores in the state.

In this, as well as in several prestigious commercial venues, we mount

annual promotional tour.

Now, we would appreciate it if you and your representatives would participate

this event.

At our expense, of course.

Oh, you would like us to go to America?

You and whomever of your staff you require to assist you on the tour.

Would that be acceptable to you?

Quite acceptable, Miss Arderson.

Well, we're happy with you two Germans.

If you won't mind, please.

We have you two up by the gun.

You own this studio, don't you, Mr. Hanson?

Peter.

Faye. Faye Leslie.

That's with an I -E, not a Y.

That's about to take.

Camera rolling.

Good morning.

Now, as you know, we're going to be taking a collection of our designs to

America, which Kitty and Lydia are going to model.

Well, the word has got round, Miss B.

In addition, we will need the services of a seamstress during the tour.

But only the one seamstress.

But only the one.

Now, the question is... Which one?

You're both equally qualified for the job, so, well, we wondered what you felt

about it yourselves.

I think Matt should go. No, Tilly should.

Well, you two are no help at all.

Shall we talk for it?

Right? Well, yes.

Will you call?

Heads.

Oh, Madge's tails.

Sorry.

Well, well done, Tilly.

Oh, thanks.

Next time, Madge. Yes, Miss Beatrice.

Sorry, Madge. Thank you ever so much.

Oh, I'd love to be a flan of all when you're out and all.

Will you let him go?

Oh, let him go. Stop it, mate.

He's home to far away America, isn't he?

I wouldn't go and leave Perth. Oh, that's only because Gary'd do a bunk

your back was turned.

Well, Gary'll be disappointed.

I reckon he could have done with a few weeks without my nagging.

Come with me.

Good night.

During our absence, Mrs Burgoyne will be in charge of the day -to -day running

of the house.

And you'll be working closely with her.

Your areas of responsibility are clearly defined.

You're both familiar with them.

I don't see any problems there, do you?

No, Miss Elliot.

Well, think about it, Joseph, and if you feel... I can tell you now.

I'd like to very much.

I'm so glad.

I can't tell you what a relief it is to know I should be leaving things in such

safe hands.

Thank you.

This certainly sets you up financially.

Well, we'd have an independence and a security that we've never had.

Gives you real status, you know, in the commercial sense.

But as regards our name, our reputation, are we wise to get involved in this

market? You're diversifying, that's all. The exclusive range remains unaffected,

yes?

No, it's a great opportunity. My advice for what it's worth is to seize it.

We hoped you'd say that.

It's an exciting itinerary. Chicago, Boston, New York.

Wish I was going with you.

But I have a film to finish.

How's it going?

It's good to be my own master.

But?

I don't know. I'm not sure I should be making this film. It's very subjective,

possibly even morbid.

Jack. And I hate to admit it, but Peter isn't proving to be the ideal partner.

Anyway, I'll just get back to the studio, check that everything's ready

tomorrow, and it won't be.

Good night, Evie. Good night, Jack.

And thank you for everything.

I gather Alexander has returned to Italy.

Oh, thank goodness.

Does he even know he was here asking after her?

Does that bother you?

A little.

Well, that's why this American trip would be wonderful.

A complete change of scene.

Oh, Jack, I'm certain I'm doing the right thing by her.

I know you are.

Certain, do you mean, or right?

Alice, you're perfectly happy with all these arrangements, aren't you?

Yes, indeed.

When did this arrive?

It must have been a week ago his lordship called, wouldn't it, Miss

I left it in your tray. I thought you'd be sure to find it.

Alice, we'll continue our conversation later. Thank you. Yes.

Evie, he arrived unannounced while you were out.

I had no idea he'd left you a letter.

And it didn't occur to you at the time to tell me that he was in London?

That he'd called on me?

I talked to Jack about it.

We thought you were getting over it.

I wasn't getting over it.

You and Jack had no right to interfere!

How can I decide what is best for me if you keep things from me?

It's your right, of course.

But the truth about Alexander will only hurt you more.

If there's anything I don't know, whatever it is, please tell me. I have a

to know, please.

You think he resigned on a point of honour because of you. Well, it's not

If he hadn't resigned, he would have been sacked because he mishandled the

Soroyan affair.

He took the post in Italy in order to salvage his career and on condition that

he took Elizabeth with him to...

Put paid to any talk of any divorce.

I don't believe you.

Evie, it's the truth.

Elizabeth told me.

When I confronted Alexander with it, he didn't deny it.

I'm so sorry. I really didn't want you to know.

This is a lie.

This is a lie to justify your interference in my life. Why would we do

don't know why.

Maybe Jack would help.

Excellent. Thank you all.

Don't get so steamed up. The set should have been ready for me. This is not the

first time this has happened.

Have some coffee and relax, will you?

I want a word with you anyway.

About young Faye.

Young Faye?

Very... Talented little actress, wouldn't you say?

You know, I'd like to appear given a bigger role, Jack.

Or perhaps her existing part could be made more important.

Listen, if her part was any more important, I would have to replace her.

Phoebe, how nice.

What's the matter? Jack, I need to speak to you.

Thank you, sir.

Oh, excuse me, I was looking for Mr Hanson.

Peter, I thought I'd surprise you.

Darling, this is Faye Leslie, a member of the cast.

Pleased to meet you. How do you do?

My wife's shortly leaving for America, Faye, with the House of Elliot. I'm a

mannequin, you see. Really?

Well, you'd better take me home, darling.

Good night, Miss Leslie.

Good night, Mrs Hanson.

It's perfectly true. He told me himself the reason he resigned.

And it wasn't because of me?

No.

Elizabeth used her influence to get in the Rome appointment.

And he accepted her conditions.

Bea telephoned you this afternoon, Jack, didn't she? She told you to say this.

Of course she didn't.

No, of course she didn't.

Did you see Jack?

Yes.

I'm sorry for not believing you.

You look so cold.

You

were

going to get me a better part.

You said I'd be made more important.

I tried.

But Jack, the director, Faye.

You don't carry much weight around here, do you, Peter?

Now, Faye, let's just... Get me on that trip to America as a mannequin.

And you can be sure our understanding remains a secret.

But I don't want you in America.

I want you here.

I'll be back.

But if you let me down, I shall have to have a little word in your wife's ear.

Good morning, Mr. Maddox. Good morning. Peter, those burials are out here. I'm

really stuck if they're not here by midday. All present and correct, sir.

Good.

Jack.

Mr. Maddox, do you know which one of these you want yet? Uh, later.

We're doing well, aren't we?

Sorry, but it wouldn't pay.

You're happy with what we've done?

Yes, yes.

Good.

Look, Jack, our pal.

How would you feel like doing me a bit of a favour?

A favour? What sort of favour?

Could you... Well, could you get Faye on that tour of the States with the House

of Elliot?

No, no, I could not.

Of course you could.

Use your influence.

Do it, Jack.

For an old pal who's calling in a debt of honour?

Faye drives a hard bargain, Jack. She's put me in an awkward situation.

What do you say?

For old times' sake?

No. No, I don't interfere with my wife's business in that way.

I see.

It's all very well to make pretty speeches about owing a life to good old

but when it comes down to it, there's nothing doing, is there?

Look, if she doesn't get her own way, Faye's going to tell Liddy that she and

are... well... You are overstepping the mark, Peter.

Jack, please!

All right, I will speak to her.

Why on earth would we do that? We can only take two mannequins, Kitty and

Going. If you want to ingratiate yourself with some actress, Jack, please

involve me.

It has nothing to do with me, except that I owe Peter this favour.

Help me out!

I've completely misjudged the man. Our partnership is turning into a disaster.

See, Fay is threatening to tell his wife about their relationship.

He saved my life, but it's not so much to ask in return.

Well, all right, if it'll help you out.

We'll have to drop Liddy from the tour. Kitty has to go. She's the most

experienced.

Liddy will be disappointed.

Well, it does get Fay out of the country. It gives Peter some sort of

coming to his senses.

I suppose that's true.

We'll just have to tell Liddy we need her here.

What's the matter?

Miss Beatrice says they need me here, in London.

They're taking another girl to America.

But she's never worked at the Mannequin, Gibby. She's an actress in Mr Maddox's

film.

Could you take that to Anna, please?

Yes, Miss Elliot.

Forgive me, but I've seen the way Faye Leslie hangs around the film studio.

I think all this needing me here is just a ruse, isn't it? To do a favour for Mr

Maddox. No, Liddy, I promise you that's not true.

Really, you mustn't think that. I can't help thinking that.

What other explanation is there? It's simply that... Well, as my sister

explained to you, we do need you here.

I'm sorry.

It must be very disappointing, but...

There it is.

Yes, Miss Elliot.

I'll be off then, Jack.

Sure you don't fancy a drink?

Quite sure, thanks.

Thanks a lot for what you did for Faye.

She's... Well, she's thrilled.

Look, just leave it, Peter, will you?

I'll see you tomorrow, then.

Good night.

Oh, they've finished with the data.

Nobody there except for Mr Maddox, I think.

He's the man I've come to see.

We're old friends.

Reckon you best go in, then?

Straight through, sir.

Well, there you go. It's a bit dark in there.

Many thanks.

Jack? George.

George Morton.

I'm sorry, old man.

I've startled you.

Are you all right?

I thought you were dead.

No, no, far from it.

What the place is this going on here?

Do you know I've been sat there trying to work out exactly the same thing?

Come on, let's get out of here.

Thank you, Jack. That was wonderful.

Good.

Anyway, I had to deliver some particularly fine artefacts to the

which meant spending a night in London, so it seemed a good opportunity to look

you up. I'm very glad you did.

So, Evie wrote to you?

Yes.

The letter was forwarded to me in Crete, together with this.

You remember?

Good God.

It seems that she had recently reunited you with Peter Hanson.

And not content with that, well, here I am.

Is this Evie?

No, no, that's her sister, Beatrice.

My wife.

Oh, forgive me, but if this lovely lady is your wife, then why isn't she here?

Crazy, isn't it?

Hugh died, you know.

Yes, Ace, I heard.

That's very sad.

So you and Peter Hanson have formed a partnership.

How's that going?

Well, to tell you the absolute truth, George, I'm a little bit disappointed in

him. I'm beginning to think he's a bit of a... Oh, good grief, Jack.

You don't mean to tell me it's taken you this long to find that out.

The man's an absolute cat.

Hang on a minute. Whatever one may think of him, he did save my life.

Jack, is that what he told you?

Good God.

Why are you laughing?

He left you for dead and he bolted like a rabbit.

What? It was quite a dangerous thing to do, actually. There was a lot of stray

stuff flying about that night.

I don't understand.

When I came to, there he was at my bedside.

He'd been injured.

Jack.

It seems a pity to destroy your illusions.

The fact is that when you were hit, you were out for the count.

It was Hugh and I who carted you off to find a stretcher crew.

Then, once you were in safe hands, we headed back to the command post.

But Hugh... Hugh... He got hit.

And we both ended up being captured by Jerry.

He was in such bad shape they repatriated him.

So, Peter lied to me.

To you?

Probably to himself as well.

He's a casualty of war, Jack, but he's not a hero.

So, people treat him with contempt rather than the sympathy he deserves.

Poor devil.

I'm here to be measured.

Know how to tan, do you?

Pardon? You can tan properly, can you? And walk correctly.

It's a lot more to showing off a dress than just slipping it on, you know.

And buffing your eyelashes.

I'm an actress, dear, not just a cloak horse.

Once I get to New York, you won't see me for dust.

I'm just surprised at Mr Maddox, letting you make such a fool of him.

We're ready for you now, Miss Leslie.

You got it wrong, dear.

It isn't Mr. Maddox I made a fool of.

I'm deeply embarrassed the man's a cheat and a fraud to whom I owe absolutely

nothing.

He put me in an impossible situation. I am so sorry for being such a gullible

idiot. You weren't to know.

If Evie hadn't got in touch with George, I never would have known.

For some good came the reunion. Oh, yes.

I'm delighted to have made contact with George again.

What if Faye tells Liddy about all this?

We can't prevent it. It's Peter's problem, not ours.

Well, it means Liddy can come to America now. If she still wants to.

Shall I go and ask her?

Yes. And if she does, will you tell Anna?

And tell Faye.

I shall enjoy that.

Poor old Jack.

Where does this leave your partnership with Peter?

I shall dissolve it.

What about your film?

I've finished, but I should never have made it in the first place. The whole

thing was a mistake.

A fool's way of trying to come to terms with the past.

Draw a line under that wall.

Are you sure?

Quite sure.

I haven't looked too much. I'll close the studio.

I've accepted an offer from a German producer.

I leave England on the Tuesday after next.

That's the day after we leave for New York.

Shall I see you before we go?

Plenty of tissue paper.

Here, mate.

Tilly, come in. What is it?

The thing is, Miss B and Miss Evie, I can't go to America.

I feel really bad about letting you down.

Tilly, you were so keen.

It's not that I'm not keen, Miss B. I'm ever so keen.

It's just that I've fallen.

Fallen?

Tilly, you're pregnant.

Tilly, that's wonderful news.

Yes, miss.

I mean, me and Norman are that pleased, you know, but it's early days now and he

doesn't want me going all that way, you see, and taking the risk. No, of course

you mustn't.

Congratulations, Tilly.

Thank you.

So you think you're going to walk out on me?

Believe me, it's for the best, Peter.

I've settled the outstanding debts.

Let's just say that it didn't work out and part with no hard feelings, yes?

It's business with pay, isn't it?

Look, I'm sorry, Jack. I just wasn't thinking clearly. Won't you accept an

apology?

I'm afraid it's not as simple as that.

You're saying I'm not cut out for film production, is that it?

No, I'm not saying that, but not with me.

Perhaps I'm not ready to run my own studio yet, I don't know. Anyway, I've

accepted an offer.

Oh?

From a German film company. I'm going to work in Berlin.

How can you do that?

The Germans are our enemies, Jack.

They killed and maimed our friends. Where's your sense of honour?

Yeah, if it's a boy, you'll have to call him Charles.

Oh, no.

Well?

Oh, I can tell by your face it's all right.

America, here I come!

We're going to miss you, Matt. Oh, thank you. We can tell that, Agnes,

by your stitching.

We seem to move further and further apart.

It was happening before we separated.

One of us being in America and the other in Germany is not going to make any

difference to us, is it?

So many areas of our lives which just don't fit together.

Like me not wanting to have children?

It's your life. I have to accept that.

But it was going to be our life.

Well, don't be sad.

You've achieved so much. You're an established and respected designer. The

of Elliot is a success.

Oh, yeah.

The House of Elliot must always come first. You need it to be a success.

Do I?

Do I really want to go to America?

Of course you do.

I'm not sure that I do.

Does the idea of working in Germany really appeal to you?

I take filmmaking seriously, that.

But do you want to go?

There's nothing for me here at the moment, is there?

Come with us to America.

What? What a wonderful opportunity for film.

It's too late. It could still be arranged.

Yes.

I'm losing you, Jack, and I don't want to.

Turn.

Did you read it?

No, I read it. I thought it wouldn't make any difference, whatever it was.

Was it over then?

No.

It's over.

You shan't ever see him again.

Miss Elliot, before you leave... Miss Elliot, thank you.

The talk's yesterday, you know that.

Have a pleasant trip, ladies. Thank you, Mr Wynne.

Betty, Agnes, what are you doing in here? Oh, please tell her to say goodbye

the girls. All right, just this once. Come along.

Bye, have a

nice ride.

Bye. You take care, Finlay.

Oh, no, I don't believe it. I've completely forgot to ask the Mayor to

picture postcard of the Statue of Liberty.

England, just for a little while.

And hello, America. Hello, New York.

Do you

think he'll come?

I simply don't know.

Come on.

You still have expecting me, don't you?

Yes, I am.

Isn't it stupid?

Baby, don't look back.

Don't look back.
